Believe it or not, the notions of free will and destiny are not mutually exclusive.<br /><br />Predestination is the universal framework of limits (based on natural physical laws) placed upon us.<br /><br />Free will is our infinite ability to make choices within that framework.<br /><br />Because the universal scale is so great—and most of it constitutes an undiscovered frontier—our choices are only limited by our knowledge, our abilities, and our imagination.<br /><br />To put it simply, the world is such a huge playground sandbox that we will never run out of sand or reach the faraway safety fence of destiny.<br /><br />So go out there and play!
